The Mom Test

I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something
off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away
from her and I asked her not to do that.

“Why?” my daughter asked.

“Because it’s been on the ground, you don’t know where it’s been, it’s
dirty, and probably has germs,” I replied.

At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked,
“Momma, how do you know all this stuff. You are so smart.”

I was thinking quickly, “All moms know this stuff. It’s on the Mom Test.
You have to know it, or they don’t let you be a Mom.”

We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently
pondering this new information. “Oh…I get it!” she beamed, “So if you
don’t pass the test you have to be the dad.”

”Exactly,” I replied back with a big smile on my face.
